THINGS I FIND ON THE WEB
Well sir, you’re in the right place cause have I got a site for you! Ok so not all of these are the best icons in the world, but how many times have you just needed a simple icon but it’s on your computer at home/work/whatever. Anyhow, just bookmark this site. But if you’re just looking for a round-up of nice, well designed icons, check out Meaghan Fisher’s (owltastic) post.
Adam Lisagor aka Lonely Sandwich made a new video for Jambox, a new product by Jawbone (maker of bluetooth headsets).
It runs about $200 and acts as a wireless speaker and speakerphone that you connect with through your iphone or ipad. Watch the video, starring Tetris Kelly (@TetrisStarMusic), for a better explanation, it looks pretty sweet.
JAMBOX by Jawbone is simply the smallest, best-sounding wireless speaker and speakerphone on the planet. Just place it anywhere in a room and enjoy pristine streaming audio from your phone, tablet, computer and other Bluetooth devices. It’s the perfect companion to all your mobile devices. Bring music, movies and all your mobile audio vibrantly to life—all in the palm of your hand. Available for $199.
THE BIGGEST SOUND IN THE SMALLEST PACKAGE
JAMBOX delivers stunning stereo audio in a speaker so compact you simply won’t believe it until you hear it. Unlike other compact speakers, JAMBOX’s proprietary acoustics bring music, movies, conference calls and all your mobile audio vibrantly to life with shimmering highs and thumping bass that you can literally feel.
GO ANYWHERE & GO WIRELESS
JAMBOX is the perfect companion to all your mobile devices. Just place it anywhere in a room and enjoy pristine streaming audio from your phone, tablet, laptop and other Bluetooth devices. No cord, no docks, no hassles. Take it with you from room to room or throw it in your bag and enjoy on the go.
IT ONLY GETS BETTER WITH TIME
As the world’s first intelligent speaker, JAMBOX downloads apps, software and new features at Jawbone’s industry-first online platform, MyTALK. It’ll always be up to date. No other speaker system on the planet is intelligent and updateable—then again, nothing else is quite like JAMBOX.

You fire a gun at the lamp to turn it off. The light goes out and the lampshade knocks to the side, showing that it’s been hit.

A limited run of 200 were screenprinted using oil from the BP spill, off the beaches of Louisiana.
A project by Happiness Brussels, the posters were designed by Anthony Burrill and printed by Purple Monkey Design in New Orleans, Louisiana. The now sold-out posters were going for €150 at gulfofmexico2010.com with all benefits going to the “Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana” (CRCL). You can see more photos of the process here.
You may not think watching someone draw Gothic letters is fascinating as I do.
You have to at least agree that this guy is really talented.

It’s only because I’m so proud this is done.
I have a brand spankin’ new website at thoughtbrain.com. I couldn’t have done it without my husband, Andrew (aka Roo), who mastered jQuery so my site would look fancy.
There are still some things I know I need to tweek, but I’d appreciate a look or two! 
The next stage will be to revamp this blog, make it match the new site and hopefully add some fun features too.
I’m in love with these posters, I wish I could find out who designed them.
Anyone know?
